TCS is among world’s top 10 IT companies deriving ~32% of its revenue from BFSI vertical. Retail and CPG contribute 12.5% to TCS revenue, while communication & media, life sciences & healthcare, manufacturing and technology contributed 7-8% each to its revenue. The company is witnessing increasing traction in digital business where it signed its first USD50mn+ deal in Q3FY18. TCS’s deal momentum remains strong as exhibited in the largest ever (USD2bn) deal signed with Transamerica and USD690mn+ deal signed with Prudential (for Diligenta).

We believe that over the next few quarters, TCS can exhibit superior integration capabilities and grow the base of its digital revenue, which will offset lack of growth in traditional revenues. Moreover, it has shown turnaround in all verticals except BFSI, which should do well post CY18. Owing to better realizations and utilizations, we expect revenue and PAT CAGR of 9.5% and 12.4% respectively over FY18-20E.
